   I have been working on this theme without problems for about 2 weeks and my site was running fine with it. As soon as I visited the Appearance > Themes section of the administrative interface WordPress decided the theme is broken.

   It doesn't tell me how it's broken, so I have no way to fix it without knowing what's broken. All I know is that it worked great before.

   Where is the log that I can check to see what is broken?

   Thanks!

   Did you remove any templates or change the heading in style.css ? That error is usually caused by incorrectly editing the Stylesheet heading. For reference, this is the Stylesheet heading from the Default theme:

   /*
   Theme Name: WordPress Default
   Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/
   Description: The default WordPress theme based on the famous <a href="http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick/">Kubrick</a>.
   Version: 1.6
   Author: Michael Heilemann
   Author URI: http://binarybonsai.com/
   Tags: blue, custom header, fixed width, two columns, widgets
   */

   Hey, thanks for the reply! Turns out I had deleted the file index.php using my FTP client. Once I realised that it was easy to fix.

   I am so glad to have found this post -- I could not figure out why my theme was suddenly broken and it turned out I, too, accidentally deleted my index.php! Thank you!

   I have the same problem, but did not change or delete a thing.
   Although all files are in the themes map it is only showing the default theme..
   Wonder what happened
